In depth

Verdict

All of these make their handicap debuts and Red Power won over today’s trip at Ayr before finding one too good over 7f. JERSEY ROSE struggled in Listed company last time but this looks more her level having beaten the subsequent winner Atomic Lady when successful in soft going at Ripon earlier. That looks stronger form than Makalu’s victory at Thirsk while Night Candle and Meng Tian have both won over the minimum trip and may prove best of the rest.
